Your Most Controversial Opinions!

My most controversial opinion, apparently, is I would like to see the death penalty reintroduced in the UK.I think a murderer who planned and waited for their opportunity to slaughter an innocent adult or child doesn't deserve to live.I also think that the punishments handed out in UK courts frequently verge on the obscene. I often wonder why the criminal is better treated than the victim.Brian.Edited by Brian, : grammar

My mate is a prison officer, and I am freequently lost for words at some of the things he tells me.Being in the UK you will appreciate some of these beauties It is a prisoner's right to see a doctor within 24 hours about any ailment. I know people who have had to wait about a fortnight to see a doc and they are law abiding citizens.A dentist visits the prison EVERY day to see if anyone requires treatment! I know people who cannot even get registered with a dentist!We have the smoking ban up here now and my mate cannot smoke inside the prison, but the cons can as it is deemed as their home. The prisoners take great joy at teasing the officers by sitting back in their cells puffing away on their ciggies.Prison should be a punishment, you wouldn't think it. Not just that, some prison sentences are a freakin joke. The Americans may be a weird lot, but at least their prison sentences seem to fit the crimes.Brian.

Shouldn't you be saying that over 50% of American males would violently rape a woman if they thought they'd get away with it?Brian.
